Tru - I second your thoughts about the heat. Watching the news this morning ... the weather forecast for just about every section of the country was 90 to 105°F.
Except here, where its 81°F right now, but a rain storm just passed and the temp is supposed to go over 90°F this afternoon. Streets are almost dry, so maybe its time for a ride before the heat wave arrives.
Steve - I only deal in mutual funds. I gave up on individual stocks about 10 years ago. Too much trouble. I did have about 3 different REIT funds for the last few years, and they did excellent. Thankfully I dumped them last year.
Ron - a loan for tiolet paper?
Kristen - that was NOT a rustic house. It was an old barn, with an old garage just behind the Cobra (out of the picture). It's just sitting there not even being used. Really rough shape. I'm sure it really pisses off the rich neighbors!
